  • In Revelation, Jesus is a prize fighter with a tattoo down His leg, a sword in His mouth and the commitment to make someone bleed. That is a guy I can worship.


    so why does the world, the media, and most importantly the church portray Jesus as a pacifistic pansy? Some cross dressing transvestite? every image you see of Him is some "guy" with long flowing hair, rosie cheeks behind a well groomed beard, a smile, with children and women around him (I know Jesus calls children to him, Jesus loves the little children etc...).
    The church likes to portray Jesus as either a newborn baby or a peaceful man who never does anything out of character, or at least the character we expect Him to portray. Even on Sunday mornings what does the typical service look like? You walk into a building decorated beautifully by a woman most likely, with pretty pink walls and flowers everywhere. The service starts and we hug everyone and tell them we love them and Jesus loves them too. We scream that God is Good! But be careful not to get to excited about Jesus, that excitement is saved for the sporting event after church, (yes I am the most guilty) then after we greet everyone then we go to Prom. We sing Prom songs to Jesus, like He is our date.
    Then we listen to someone paint the picture of who Jesus is or was. Lets make sure we use words like Love, Gentle, peace, kindness, patience, and every other word we can think of to describe a soft, wimpy, spineless person. But please make sure we leave out the fact that the main reason Jesus came to this Earth was to Die a Bloody, Painful, Miserable, Excruciating Death on a Cross. After accomplishing that lets not forget Jesus is coming back to Kill Satan, yes Jesus is going to Kill someone, it's in the Bible.

    Maybe when we describe Jesus we should use words like Warrior, Man, King, Soldier, Fighter.
    The God I chose to worship and believe in is someone that I would want to have fear for, not someone I know I could beat up.

    Sorry if I offended anyone, but maybe as a country of "God fearing people" we should probably make Jesus someone who is worry of fear not sympathy.

  • Most honest worship song

    Brave Saint Saturn-Invictus

    I've been breaking my back
    Only to show you
    How very lost one can be
    and Bitterness fires through me

    The brilliance that was
    Is now flickering cold
    Slowly burning to ash
    I'm choking on pride
    I'm closing my eyes
    Til one day I'm scared to go back

    You part the shadows
    Light of the World
    Destroy the blindness
    Peace Eternal

    Take this broken Heart
    If it brings you Praise
    Take this beaten Soul
    Shivering Hands I will raise
    Hope Unstoppable
    sing the morning sun
    Wake up Oh Sleeper
    The Daylight has come

    You Are, You Are
    Invinsible
    You Are, You Are
    Unbreakable

    Sea of Faces-Kutless

    I see the city lights all around me
    Everyone's obscure
    Ten million people each with their problems
    Why should anyone care

    And in Your eyes I can see
    I am not just a man, vastly lost in this world
    Lost in a Sea of Faces
    Your body's the bread, Your blood is the wine
    Because you traded Your life for mine

    Sometimes my life it feels so trivial
    Immersed in the greatness of space
    Yet somehow you still find the time for me
    It's then You show me Your love

    And In Your eyes I can see
    And in Your arms I will be
    I am not just a man, vastly lost in this world
    Lost in a Sea of Faces
    Your body's the bread, Your blood is the wine
    Because you traded Your life for mine

    If only my one heart
    Was all you'd gain from all it cost
    Well I know you would have still been a man
    With a reason
    To willingly offer your life

    I am not just a man, vastly lost in this world
    Lost in a Sea of Faces
    Your body's the bread, Your blood is the wine
    Because you traded your life for mine

    Just one in a million faces

    The Altar and the Door

    East to West
    Casting Crowns

    Here I am, Lord, and I'm drowning in your sea of forgetfulness
    The chains of yesterday surround me
    I yearn for peace and rest
    I don't want to end up where You found me
    And it echoes in my mind, keeps me awake tonight
    I know You've cast my sin as far as the east is from the west
    And I stand before You now as though I've never sinned
    But today I feel like I'm just one mistake away from You leaving me this way

    Jesus, can You show me just how far the east is from the west
    'cause I can't bear to see the man I've been come rising up in me again
    In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
    'cause You know just how far the east is from the west
    From one scarred hand to the other

    I start the day, the war begins, endless reminding of my sin
    Time and time again Your truth is drowned out by the storm I'm in
    Today I feel like I'm just one mistake away from You leaving me this way

    I know You've washed me white, turned my darkness into light
    I need Your peace to get me through, to get me through this night
    I can't live by what I feel, but by the truth Your word reveals
    I'm not holding on to You, but You're holding on to me
    You're holding on to me

    Jesus, You know just how far the east is from the west
    I don't have to see the man I've been come rising up in me again
    In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
    'cause You know just how far the east is from the west
    From one scarred hand to the other
    One scarred hand to the other
    From one scarred hand to the other

    I think i am going to post lyrics that are expressing what i am going through or have gone through. Kinda lame but I hope in someway it can inspire or help others along in their journey. so here goes.

    Sing Sing Sing,
    Chris Tomlin

    We will sing, sing, sing
    And make music with the heavens
    We will sing, sing, sing
    Grateful that You hear us
    When we shout your praise
    Lift high the name of Jesus

    What's not to love about You?
    Heaven and earth adore You
    Kings and kingdoms bow down
    Son of God, You are the One
    You are the One we're living for

    You are the love that frees us
    You are the light that leads us
    Like a fire burning
    Son of God, You are the one
    You are the one we're living for
